we were made for each other in that moment we swayed together in our smart betrothal clothes to nick cave warbling straight to you as the crowd watched in alarm/dismay/impressed by the grunge of it all and later, some years later we would examine again and again this our marriage that we commemorate on this day every year and come to the inexcapable conclusion, no choice, that we are captured, in a love so light it lifts our feet from the ground like the wings of nicks sparrows with beaks sharpened

we have made a life you and i, and every day as I walk through the door to have that life hug me around the legs in a sticky passionate and hurried embrace then to be reached out to with arms waving for a cuddle a simple cuddle free of anything but love only to see you and feel my spirit tell me i am home i am truly captured by the simple delight of being with you, of the privilege that that is

thank you and i love you
